I'm completely mystified. Dogwood has done very well buying mid-priced horses (originally $50,000-$75,000, more recently up to around $150,000), so why spend all that money for something that we know will turn out to be a regression to the mean genetically? I guess Cot Campbell figures he can find partners who just want to thrill of owning a sibling to a Derby winner, even if the horse ends up with a racing record similar to The Green Monkey's.
